Best Noci Hotels

Dimora in Italian translates into English as mansion. Intini is indeed a mansion, with the largest hotel rooms I have seen. Noci itself is not a draw, but it is well located as a base to access the major sights in the area, such as Alberobello, Locorotondo, Cisternina and Martina Franca, as well as a visit to coastal cities Bari or Monopoli. Intini was a very good option in the area, given the quality of the rooms, breakfast and cost. The bed was large and comfy, pillows were good, and there were ample seating options and storage space for clothes and luggage. The bathroom was large and modern, everything worked well. Parking is on the street, where you can find it, and the hotel provides a card to avoid paying the metered rate. The hotel has a restaurant where you have breakfast, a very satisfying affair, and dinner if you choose. Our dinner there was one of the best we had on our trip. The one big downside was our room location, which overlooked the front of the hotel. The restaurant, with outdoor seating, is in front and open all day until late, and they insist on playing music, a selection we found quite annoying, while the restaurant is open. Daytime is not an issue but, in the evening and later, after a long day, the music was intrusive and bothersome. Even with our windows closed, the sound found us. We requested it be lowered, which they sort of did (not enough to suit us) but that’s bad for the ambiance they want to portray. As this was a daily issue for us, it mitigated an otherwise very positive experience.

Wonderful property, FABULOUS dinner, and probably the best massage I've ever had (Thanks Grazia!) The spa experience including the saunas and Turkish bath were a treat. I wish the Fitness Room was not tied to your spa appointment but accessable to all hotel guests at other times. I did not want to work out at the same time I was going to enjoy the baths etc. Would have preferred to work out earlier. The rooms were clean and comfortable and the grounds were beautiful.
